This video discusses the stunning similarities found between the 110 Enoch verses found in the Book of Moses and the Enoch material discovered and published after Joseph Smith’s death. Of particular note, and of greatest similarity, are the stunning ties related to the material found in the Dead Sea Scrolls - Cave 4, discovered in 1948! Hugh Nibley reported his discussion with Matthew Black, who translated the Enoch portion of the Dead Sea Scrolls (known as the ‘Book of Giants’), who after being stunned with what Joseph Smith had done said ‘someday we will know what source Joseph Smith used’ (or in other words there has to be an explanation for this!)

Many translations are available of 1 Enoch, 2 Enoch, 3 Enoch and the Book of Giants (lost part of 1 Enoch found with the Dead Sea Scrolls). The two I held up near the start of the video - one was from Joseph Lumkin and the other from the trio of Paul Schnieders, Robert Charles & WB Henning.
Between the two, I would recommend the version from Lumpkin because he has an amazing section before getting into the text showing the impact of the Book of Enoch on the New Testament. He even shows the very specific quotes from Jesus himself that were quotes of the Book of Enoch! The amazing thing is it was always assumed after discoveries and dating of 1 Enoch, 2 Enoch & 3 Enoch, that the Book of Enoch came after Christ because of some of the material, but the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls flipped everything around - this showed the dating of Enoch material was over 500 years earlier than previously thought, so it was actually the New Testament quoting the Book of Enoch (including Jesus), not the other way around!!
